CNC Lathe Machine Configuration

Through basic machining practice is beyond the scope you should understand:

- Machining operations

- Processing

- Cutting condition

- Working hold setup

- Blue printing reading, dimensioning

About Machine configuration

There are many forms of CNC turning centers such as:

+ Universal slant bed

+ Chucker slant bed

+ Twins spindle horizontal

+ Single spindle vertical

+ Milling/ turn machine

In all case X will be the diameter controlling axis and Z will be the length controlling axis

Because universal slant bed turning is the most popular turning center style , examples in this course stress this machine type , and universal slant bed turning center can perform all types of turning center can perform all types of turning applications: chucker work, shaft work, bar work,.

All turning center have certain programmable features:

- Turret index

- Spindle activation

- Feed rate

- Coolant

And some turning center has additional programmable features such as: jaw open/close, tailstock, positioning, door open and close
